Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania
Down payment on used car
We received $500. Down payment for a used car, they haven't yet picked it up. Can we sell it to someone else and keep the $500. For waiting 2 weeks, with potential loss of sale?

Re: Down payment on used car
What does your written contract say? Do have a written contract?
Next what does the buyer say? Have contacted the buyer?
The problem with your question is it lacks much of a fact pattern. For example has the buyer said you get the rest of you money the 12th of Never?
Or does you contract cover this potential problem? Or will we have to look at the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by Pennsylvania for gap fillers to provide the missing terms.
Without know some of these details there is no way to answer your question.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
